Regarding the war more than 20 years ago, Doudou has heard people mention it many times.
Don't say that Master Huo is the first, he can't even rank in the top three.
But he was the only one among them who had really participated in that war, and when he said these old things from his mouth, Doudou only felt that the atmosphere in the side hall instantly became vicissitudes and sadness.
Although it starts with the injury, in fact, to make the whole thing clear, you have to start with the war.
Master Huo said with a solemn expression: "At that time, my father's age was not as old as Ah Xiao's now, and the Tatars invaded the Great Zhou, and as the son of Dingguo and the eldest son of the general, it was my duty to participate in the war.
Twenty years ago, Tatar's national strength was at its peak, and dozens of small surrounding countries were all forced to send troops to the Great Zhou, and the enemy's total strength was nearly 800,000, of which cavalry accounted for eighty percent.
Although your grandfather had 500,000 Northwest Army, due to the long defensive front, only about 300,000 were initially able to defend against the enemy. ” This is almost more than double the disparity of forces, and the other side has been planning for a long time, and its own side is forced to fight, so you can imagine how critical the situation was at that time.
Doudou's fists clenched involuntarily, and he whispered, "Is the reinforcement coming in time?"
Master Huo did not answer this question directly, but said: "The first reinforcement to arrive in the northwest was your grandfather, His Royal Highness King Fu, and Yongfu went to the northwest with him. ” Doudou didn't want to hide his curiosity, and asked, "Mother was very eye-catching at that time, right?"
A soft light flashed in Master Huo's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Of course, your mother is the most outstanding woman in the whole Zhou, not to mention in the army, but in the capital in the past."
Doudou frowned, listening to the meaning of this, he was already tempted by his mother when he was in the capital Master Huo is a very smart person, how could he not see the curiosity in his daughter-in-law's eyes.
He sighed lightly: "My father does not deny it, I was indeed attracted to your mother very early, but I never dared to think that I could be her colt in this life." ” It is not difficult to understand this, it is not difficult for a girl like Princess Yongfu to make a boy move, but it is indeed not easy to become her concubine.
For many noble women, King Fu is the husband they dream of, but for many noble women who have become mothers, people like King Fu are the best candidates to be sons-in-law, but they don't want their precious son to have such a father-in-law.
A man who would rather guard his wife's tablet and be lonely for half his life will be able to tolerate his son-in-law and take a concubine Moreover, although Princess Yongfu is not an imperial daughter, her concubine will not break her career, who wants to have a daughter-in-law who dances with knives and guns all day long, and doesn't dare to say anything heavy, beats her in-laws and concubines without saying a word, and can't even find a place to complain.
However, for a general like the Huo family, these are not the main obstacles for Master Huo to become a master of the horse.
The first to bear the brunt was the first emperor.
The Huo family has heavy troops, and King Fu also has heavy troops, unless it is a last resort, the first emperor will definitely not be willing to twist two extremely strong forces into one.
The second is General Huo.
The royal family is always on guard against the Huo family, and General Huo is always on guard against the royal family Once the eldest son is still the master, the future head of the Huo family will definitely have half of the royal blood.
There are pros and cons to this half of the bloodline, no one dares to say what it will be like in the future, and General Huo can't afford to gamble.
Therefore, Master Huo's little heart for Princess Yongfu was quickly buried deep in his heart, and he did not refuse the marriage arranged by her mother, who was still the Duchess of Dingguo at that time.
So he has a cousin who is known as his childhood sweetheart, and now Aunt Bai.
In fact, Doudou can understand that General Huo Da entered the military camp at the age of twelve, and his requirements for his eldest son must be very strict.
Even if Master Huo didn't enter the barracks at the age of twelve, he must have started studying and practicing martial arts at a very young age, how could he have that spare time to interact with the delicate cousin of the Bai family, all this was just the meaning of the Bai family and his mother.
She pursed her lips and said, "Then the first emperor and grandfather reached a consensus to give you and your mother a marriage, you must be overjoyed." ” Master Huo said: "Actually, my marriage with Yongfu is not as simple as the first emperor and your grandfather reaching a consensus, and it really went through a lot of twists and turns. ” Doudou looked straight at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, like a student who urgently needed to answer his questions.
Master Huo smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness King Fu and your grandfather are also friends with children, it is not an exaggeration to say that he knows the roots, he has always been unaccustomed to your grandfather having so many warblers and Yanyan by his side, so naturally he does not believe that his son will be his daughter's beloved, at that time, the first emperor just had such a mind and was immediately vetoed by him." ” Doudou nodded, this was what she didn't understand the most.
His Royal Highness King Fu can choose a bitter cold place like Liaodong as a fief for the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and is willing to spend decades to garrison the northeastern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty for the first emperor, but it is absolutely impossible for him to use the lifelong happiness of his only daughter as a bargaining chip to exchange the loyalty of the Huo family for the first emperor.
So his old man must have racked his brains to stir up this matter back then, at least in Princess Yongfu, he definitely didn't put any effort into it.
However, Princess Yongfu eventually became the daughter-in-law of General Huo, and gave birth to Huo Xiao, a future general with half of the royal blood.
This shows that Princess Yongfu was willing to marry Master Huo as his wife.
So this "voluntary" is for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or for the person of Master Huo Doudou knows that he is not the kind of person who can sacrifice everything for the sake of his family and country, so he doesn't know if there is really such a person in the world.
She thought for a while before she said, "Father, were you and your mother happy back then?"
Master Huo didn't seem to be used to talking about this kind of too private issue with his juniors, so he paused before saying: "Yongfu was in a critical situation when King Fu first arrived in the Great Northwest, and later reinforcements from all over the country arrived one after another, and a stalemate gradually formed between the two armies.
However, this situation is the most tormenting, although there has been no major battle for a long time, the small battle has not stopped, everyone's nerves are tense, where is there that leisure to think about the love of children. ” Doudou somewhat understood that it was indeed unrealistic to consider the relationship between children and daughters under such circumstances, so something must have happened at that time that made Princess Yongfu fall in love with Master Huo.
Because she was emotional, she no longer objected to the intention of the first emperor to give marriage.
And Master Huo has already been moved by her, so he will not object.
The two hit it off, no matter how great Rao is ability to stir up peace with His Royal Highness King Fu, how can he refuse in the face of his daughter's wishes S: Thank you for the two monthly passes of bybye, thank you for your subscription support, the recent unit has a lot of work in the morning, and the update time is much later than before, I apologize to everyone, and I promise that it will not be interrupted t1706231537:
